ok with more news from me ( sorry to be boring) so i changed to full tank hard tyres and the front improved a lot right now can do a lot better lap times with race setup then qual setup ill post a video with hard tyres and then qual ones

PS: ill take a pic of my setup so u guys can try and give me feedback

Hi Daniel.

This sounds interesting.... I'll have to give this a try when you post your pic of your setup.

Thanks Daniel. 

Hawk.

EDIT: Oh. This was on the 990 bike? I will try a similar setup on the 500 and compare.

Preload does seem to help in the overall handling.
Imo the bike still wheeling too much, also wobbling but preload seems to help a bit.

New feature I found that I like. In replays if you go to free-roam it now goes to the bike, not the start finish.

I did not even think about that, I also did my testing with hard tyres. I did not think that the front issues could get worse with softer tyres. Would be strange if.... will test that tonight myself.

Well guys I switched to my xbox one gamepad and tried out beta 5b once again. By the way I turned direct lean OFF.

It has transformed beta 5b for me. It now makes one heck of a lot more sense. You can now ride this thing with direct lean off with a joypad controller. The bike now turns in and steers..much to my surprise.

So with my steering wheel set-up with direct lean on I have major issues. With my xbox one joppad plugged in and direct lean off it works! On the basis of this set-up I like beta 5b quite a lot!

Just thought I had better let you know.

I'm off to bed now. But what a pleasant surprise.

P.S. I'm also getting a few rear wheel powerslides round Silverstone on the varese 500..

nice to hear that, although MaX may shed a tear to see you leave the direct leaners club

Tyre pressures seem to have a bigger impact now!

I dont know maybe its just in my head but I think beta5b has more to offer and find out!

Testing testing testing! lovin it!!

Youngsters ... so volatile ... pad, no wheel; no direct lean, yes direct lean, no direct lean; pink, no salmon pink, no candy pink ...

BTW leaning in the turn has never been what I disliked about direct lean off: picking up the bike is what bothers me.

As soon as I have my PC back I want to do a few tests with direct lean ON/OFF and the telemetry to try to visualize what direct lean off does.

MaX.

Thanks Stout. Yes I'm very pleased about it as well!  Relieved more than anything. Even the weave is controllable now. It's just that front wheel "oscillation" into and through bends that is spoiling this now. I think everyone pretty much agrees on that now. But it seems easier to deal with that with the joypad.. Wheelies on the 500 varese are a bit exaggerated in the higher gears but again more easy to compensate for with the xbox one controller. You have a quicker response to "trouble" with the pad..

I wasn't going mad guys for a steering wheel user with direct lean on beta 5b is pretty much unrideable. I don't think this beta is for steering wheel users. It seems designed for joypad controllers and the direct lean off club to me. Direct lean off feels great now. Only thing I notice is a sort of "slow zone" in steering input at the top of the thumbstick's travel when changing direction from left to right..but I guess you have that effect in real life.

So happy'ish bunny here really but the front wheel oscillation does need attention I think.

LOL. You cheeky thing you!

hello,
i note a little strange thing:
When i'm downshifting during rear braking(softly or hardly) the motor makes the same noise as a good downshifting but the gear does'nt go down, not ever but often.
Fresh report now:
I loose the front easier than on beta5, before that i can see when the front goes away, now no more.
The bike is harder to put in the right line.
The brakes were better in beta5.
I have lost about 20-30 fps(nothing has been changed in my pc), and the ping is higher than the beta5.
In beta 5 we made around 1hour, 4-5 riders, now in 3 laps i have had 4core.exe:(
I have tested the 1000 at misano, r b ring, magny-cours. This last is quite unridable in some parts because the bike begins to make big weaves between 15 degrees and -15 degrees.
We have had this problem with older beta but not so much.

It's a real pleasure to upshift at full angle in the output of the turns:)

I don't know if everybody is testing on hard tires ?.......but on soft and quali well......TITANIC

[janaucarre]

i never use other tyres than soft and quali and wet.
